课文中出现的一句话:
Theyknew,orratherthoughtthattheirfatherwasonthesametrain.他们知道,或者说他们认为他们的父亲是在同一列车上的.
这里orrather是固定短语,意为"或者说;更确切地说".那么rather还有哪些用法呢?
一、用作程度副词,意为"稍微;有点;颇;相当"
1.rather可以修饰形容词、副词的原级、比较级等;可以与介词短语连用.如:
Shewasratherhurtbyhisunkindwords.
She'sratherbettertoday.
Shelooksratherlikeherfather.
Thesematerialsarerathertoodifficultfortheseniors.
2.rather放在不定冠词a(n)前后均可.如:
MissSmarthasgotarather(=rathera)goodvoice.
二、用作副词,意为"宁可,宁愿"
1.ratherthan意为"而不是;与其……不如",后接名词、代词、形容词、动词原形等.如:
Theseshoesarecomfortableratherthanpretty.
Ratherthanallowthevegetablestogobad,hesoldthemathalfprice.
ItisheratherthanIwhoistoblame.
2.wouldratherdo...thando...=woulddo...ratherthando...宁愿做……而不愿做…….如:
Iwouldgotherebybusratherthantakethetrain.
3.prefertodo...ratherthando...宁愿做……而不愿做…….如:

三、用作感叹词,意为"当然"
-Wouldyoulikeaswim?

四、习惯用语及搭配
1.orrather更确切,更恰当;更接近.如:
Hewenthomeverylatelastnight,orrather,intheearlyhoursthismorning.
2.wouldrather意为"宁愿",后接动词原形,其否定形式是wouldrathernotdo.如:
Whichwouldyouratherhave,teaorcoffee?
Americanyoungpeoplewouldrathergetadvicefromstrangers.
3.Iwouldratherthat...这是虚拟语气形式,若从句表示与现在或将来的情况相反,用一般过去时;与过去的事实相反,用过去完成时.如:
